    She was great at adding a personal touch, really connected with us and answered all of our extra questions in full. So kind to offer taking photos for us the whole time too! It was especially nice to not have to worry about taking the cable cars up or down. They ferried us over from the tender spot. Transfer went very smoothly.

  • Stress free tour

    The tour took us all over the island and it was excellent. Each place we stopped was even better than the last. Extraordinarily professional while thoroughly engaging.

  • Skip the Cable Car lines !

    This was (we think) way to go . The cable car lines were crazy with 5 ships in the harbor. Our ship just drifted between the two p/u areas and our tender got us to the cable car area and then we took another ferry to the awaiting small van to bring us up the mountain and around all day. When finished we were brought back to van/bus p/u area and a ferry to the cable car area to take another ferry to our ship ! We met a lady who didn’t have this experience and took the 600 steps down the mountain (same path as the donkeys) and she fell twice in the donkey mess and regretted that choice . Pay the extra and skip the cable car !! Well worth it !

  • It is a good all day...

    It is a good all day round the island tour and our guide was very knowledgeable. Ensure that you get off your cruise ship as early as possible, as we nearly missed the tour. There is a stop at the end at a restaurant next to the sea, where you can swim if you would like, but have to have costume and towels with you.
